Hi, Mayrie, yes, I knew that. Problem was that particular combo box on
book condition wouldn't open when I pushed alt+down arrow. It skittered
away from it, in fact. Regards, Kim.

HI Kim,
You probably already know this, but if a combo box won't open, you can
often press alt plus down arrow on it and then arrow to find your
choice, then press alt plus up arrow to close it again. That's using
jaws.

Hi, Kes, I don't have problems with searching at Amazon.com. It's
that Alibris site that gets me. If you go there, there are a bunch of
combo boxes you have to go through and sort out. I was frustrated
because I couldn't open the combo box for the condition of book I'd
accept. I don't know if it has something to do with the scroll moving or
not. Mind you, both sites are great, but I can deal with Amazon.com a
bit better. By the way, that was a neat hint you gave me. I'll use it.
Regards, Kim Friedman.

Kim,
Quite often, if I think something I am searching for is on Amazon
somewhere but the Amazon searches keep coming without useful results, I
search Amazon using Google search terms, like this
site: Amazon.com book "title of book"
The "site" operator means the search will focus on Amazon, and the other
terms should be self-explanatory, except of course you want to put the
title of the book you are looking for within the quotation marks.
Another thing I try sometimes is to search for the author's name rather
than the book title, as often similarly titled books will come up and
give me more results than I can quickly skim through.

Hi, Jamie, I'd love to find those titles for a less expensive price,
believe me. Apparently that's impossible at amazon.com. I looked. I also
tried Alibris.com. No joy there, either, but then I find the search
functions there kind of hard to deal with what with the clutter and for
some reason (I know not why) not all the combo boxes will open so I can
see all the lists (or rather my screen reader can't). I'm wondering if
it's something to do with that particular page? I also went to
thriftbooks.com and to powells.com. Will try them again and hope to find
those books at a less expensive price. Regards, Kim.
